🗑
show Juvenile monkey's w/low 5-HT show increased risk-taking behavior/aggressive attacks on dominant monkeys -Impulsive behavior= death  
🗑
show Mice lacking the 5-HT receptor exhibit increased aggression on other mice  
🗑
show Inhibits aggression/impulsive behaviors Low levels: correlated w/aggression, assault, arson, murder, child abuse -Agonists decrease irritability, aggressiveness/impulsivity on psychological measures  
🗑
show Prenatal androgen exposure organizes neural circuits controlling aggression -puberty, testosterone activates these circuits, increasing aggressive behaviors

🗑
show increasing aggression  
🗑

🗑
Innate responses   show
🗑
Right Hemisphere of brain   show
🗑
show a lot of expressions that escape prefrontal can't stop it  
🗑
Facial muscles   show
🗑
show major role of facial expression -Face accessory to verbal communication= emphasis/direction of combo  
🗑
Recognition of emotion   show
🗑
show Physiological/psychological response to a situation(not emotion) -General adaptation syndrome -Hormones: corticosteroid ex. cortisol from adrenal cortex  
🗑
show Connection between stress/disease -Alarm response: initial res. to stress -Adaptation stage: 2nd activation of appropriate response systems/reest. of homeostatic balance -Exhaustion stage: increased susceptibility to disease  
🗑
Cortisol   show
🗑
show Brain sti. immune function -Organs-thymus,spleen,lymph nodes,bone marrow produce: Phagocytes,B/T lymphocytes, Helper T cells -Monitored/regulated by brain cytokine receptors on the vagus nerve  
🗑
Phagocytes   show
🗑
B Lymphocytes   show
🗑
show formed in thymus gland act as killer cells -Specialized cells: T helpers secrete cytokines = proteins that regulate activity B cells divide or die  
🗑
Learning   show
🗑
Synaptic plasticity   show
🗑
Long-term potentiation(strengthened/increased effect)   show
🗑
show Synaptic transmission is more likely to cause an AP in the post-synaptic neuron -last from several mins to years can be induced throughout the brain  
🗑
LTP modeled/hippocampal formation   show
🗑
Perforant pathway   show
🗑
Experimental induction of LTP   show
🗑
show Induce LTP=rapid burst of electrical pulses is delivered to the perforant pathway (~100 pulses/2sec) then wait -Detect: single, short sti. burst delivered to the perforant pathway Pop. (cells surrounding the electrode) EPSP measured in dentate gyrus  
🗑
Pos. LTP induction   show
🗑
show Synaptic strengthening depends on: NT binding at the synapse + depolarization of the post-synaptic cell(at the same time) -Depolarization of a neuron doesn't strengthen all synapses, only those that are active at the time of depolarization
